Use same accounting principles as main F/S's. Segment information presented must be reconciled to the related aggregate amounts in the F/S's.

Segment Reporting

Inter-company Transactions

Inter-company transactions not eliminated for reporting*

*Unlike how they are eliminated in consolidation between the parent company and subsidiaries

Segment Reporting

Scope

-Segment reporting applies to public companies only*

*Doesn't apply to not-for-profit organizations, nonpublic companies, or separate F/S's of members of a consolidated group if both the separate company statements and the consolidated or combined F/S's are included in the same financial report.

Operating Segments-

Definition (3)

An operating segment is a component of an enterprise:

1. That engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses*

*including revenues and expenses relating to transactions w/ other components of the same enterprise

**The definition of a segment depends on how management uses information, which is called the management approach method (Ex: management may report results both by product and service lines and by geographical lines.)

Operating Segments

Non-Operating Segments

1. Corporate Headquarters: or certain functional departments, may not earn revenues or revenues that are only incidental to the activities of the enterprise and would, therefore, not be operating segments.

2. Pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans are not considered to be operating segments.

Operating Segments

Reportable Segment

Are operating segments of an enterprise that meet the criteria for separate reporting.

Those operating segments that exhibit similar long-term financial performance may be aggregated into a single operating segment if:
1. Aggregation is consistent w/ the objectives and principles of segment reporting
2. The segments have similar economic characteristics
3. The segments are similar in:

-The nature of products and services
-The nature of the production process
-The type or class of customer
-The methods used to distribute products or provide services
-The nature of the regulatory environment (if applicable)

Operating Segments

Quantitative Thresholds for Reportable Segments (Materiality Tests)

1. 10% "Size" Test (must meet one)

-Revenue: segments reported revenue (including inter-segment sales, excluding interest income on advances and loans to other segments) is 10% or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.

-Reported Profit or Loss: segment's reported profit/loss is 10% or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of (1) combined reported profit of all segments that did not report a loss (2) combined reported loss of all segments that did report a loss.

-Assets: segment's assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

2. 75% "Reporting Sufficiency" Test: if the total (consolidated) revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75% of external (consolidated) revenue, additional segments need to be identified as reportable, even if they don't meet the 10% tests, until at least 75% of external revenue is included in reportable segments.

-The practical limit to the number of segments is 10, which is not a precise limit.

Operating Segments

"All Other Segments" Category

Information about other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable based on the above criteria should be combined and disclosed in an "all other segments" category.

Operating Segments

Comparative Reporting

-An operating segment that was deemed to be reportable in the immediately preceding period but that does not meet the criteria for report ability in the current period may continue to be reported separately if management judges the segment to have continuing significance.

-If an operating segment that was not deemed to be reportable in the prior period meets the criteria for report ability in the current period, segment data for prior periods presented should be restated to reflect the newly reportable segment as a separate segment.

Liabilities (IFRS only)- an entity discloses a measure of liabilities for each reportable segment is such an amount is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker

*Other than financial instruments

Reportable Segment Disclosures

Measurement Criteria (5)

1. Basis of accounting for any internal transactions
2. Nature of any differences between measurements of the reportable segments' profits/losses and the enterprise's consolidated income
3. Nature of any differences between measurements of the reportable segments' assets and the enterprise's consolidated assets
4. Nature of any changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit/loss
5. Nature and effect of any asymmetrical allocations to segments

Reportable Segment Disclosures

Reconciliations (5)

1. Total of the reportable segments' revenues to the enterprise's consolidated revenues
2. Total of the segments' measures of profit/loss to the enterprise's consolidated income before income taxes, extraordinary items, discontinued operations, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.
3. Total of the segments' assets to the enterprise's consolidated assets.
4. Total of the segments' liabilities to the enterprise's consolidated liabilities (IFRS only)
5. Total of the segments' amounts for every other significant item of information disclosed to the corresponding consolidated amount.
